The Chase

In my profession as a dating service owner and relationship coach, I see many people chasing after romance. When I look a little deeper, I see that this chase pertains to their whole lives. We are always striving towards a goal or goals, looking to improve or change our lot in life. Do we ever stop and realise that life might just be perfect right this very second?

Why are we never satisfied with what we already have?

Perhaps the media is largely responsible for this phenomenon. We are forever lured into the cycle of wanting and buying. Advertising messages bombard us from the moment we open our eyes in the morning until we close them again to sleep that night. There are gurus we look up to who are constantly telling us how to live our lives a better way – usually to the advantage of their pockets.

But what if life is perfect right now? What if we have everything we will ever need at this very moment? What if we practised a little gratitude and realised how blessed we are currently? What if we dropped all our attachments to the results we are always striving after and just enjoyed the present in all its splendour?

Hurry, hurry, hurry. Buy, buy, buy. That’s the message the world is screaming in our ears. I say enough! Drop the attachments. Focus on the present. And then something miraculous starts to happen. Instead of you chasing after what you so desperately desire, those very things slowly but surely start coming your way, literally arriving in your lap! Doors open, soulmates materialise and you realise all you really need to do is to relax and let the Universe open up for you. And it does so in much grander style than you could ever arrange by yourself!
